Intermediate States Enable Keratin-like α‑To‑β Transformations in Strain-Responsive Synthetic Polypeptides

Nature’s fibrous proteins, such as α-keratin, achieve remarkable mechanical properties by undergoing strain-induced α-to-β conformational transitions. Inspired by these materials, we report a strategy for designing synthetic polypeptides that undergo similar transformations at elevated temperatures...
